Answer:

C++ is platform-dependent.

]Java is platform-independent.

C++ is mainly used for system programming.

Java is mainly used for application programming. It is widely used in Windows-based, web-based, enterprise, and mobile applications.

C++ uses compiler only. C++ is compiled and run using the compiler which converts source code into machine code so, C++ is platform dependent.

Java uses both compiler and interpreter. Java source code is converted into bytecode at compilation time. The interpreter executes this bytecode at runtime and produces output. Java is interpreted that is why it is platform-independent.

C++ is an object-oriented language. However, in the C language, a single root hierarchy is not possible.

Java is also an object-oriented language. However, everything (except fundamental types) is an object in Java. It is a single root hierarchy as everything gets derived from java.lang.Object.
